Palaver Trees

 

Palaver Trees

Some places have what in Africa are called “palaver trees,” venerable and highly respected old trees “where dignitaries would meet and negotiate, where holy men would sit with worry beads,” where children would play, climbing about in the branches, where any number of other people might gather, to sit doing one of man’s favorite things: running their mouths and flapping their tongues; in a word, palavering.

Thomas Pakenham, Remarkable Trees of the World

[excerpted from the book by U.R. Bowie, Here We Be. Where Be We?]

  1. Forex trading companies in India mainly include SEBI-registered brokerage firms that allow trading in currency derivatives through regulated exchanges like the NSE and BSE. Popular and trusted brokers such as Zerodha, Upstox, Angel One, ICICI Direct, and HDFC Securities provide platforms for trading currency pairs like USD/INR, EUR/INR, GBP/INR, and JPY/INR. These companies offer user-friendly trading apps, research tools, and secure transaction systems backed by strong banking or financial institutions. In India, forex trading is strictly regulated, so traders must use these authorized brokers to ensure compliance with SEBI rules and safely participate in the currency market.
